Safety, trust & environment

My own doggo gets very special kibble and chipped lunch meat. We go out on long walks twice a day when it is nice, however he also is a tropical dog so he cannot handle rain/cold. Any time we can find a chance to play fetch inside or outside is great stimulation when accompanied by effective communication.

Information Matthew H. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know commands that they actually obey. Dietary restrictions must be disclosed as I may need to use micro incentive treats depending on the match. Finally, any fears or known dislikes ("Don't touch my ears//paws!").

A typical day

We will discover what attractions might be a good fit for your dog, especially across multiple bookings. Finding nice places to dig in their toes like soft grass will be a focus.

Looking to make some furry friends!

Pet care experience

I have owned a Golden, a Pyrennes, and currently parent to a 6yr old Basenji mix and a Lab puppy. Over the years I have walked the largest breeds like a pair of twin red blood hounds and several rotweiler mixes. I also have experience protecting the very smallest of dogs while on walkies. Grew up in Emmaus and married my husband from Bethlehem. We have been here for more than 10+yrs.
